GTA IV features an updated Sentinel XS, however it is no longer considered a distinct vehicle — it handles identically to the Sentinel, and the game refers to the car simply as "Sentinel" when entered. In a nod to the [[Mafia Sentinel]] of [[GTA III]] and [[GTA Liberty City Stories]] it serves as one of two cars (the other being the [[PMP 600]]) that are usually driven by the [[The Commission|Mafia]]. Its visual differences include "XS" badging, and a rear spoiler sporting "STD" decals. STD stands for "Sentinel Tuning Division", likely a play on Subaru's STi marque and BMW's in-house tuning division, BMW M, but also a reference to the acronym for "sexually transmitted disease". The features of the GTA IV Sentinel XS emulate the BMW M3 GTR. | GTA IV features an updated Sentinel XS, however it is no longer considered a distinct vehicle — it handles identically to the Sentinel, and the game refers to the car simply as "Sentinel" when entered.
